Lewis Hamilton started the Azerbaijan Grand Prix from the pit lane but managed to recover to ninth.
Lewis Hamilton had to undergo a power unit change before the Azerbaijan Grand Prix due to a component being incorrectly built. Consequently, he started from the pit lane instead of seventh place where he qualified. The issue with the power unit was discovered by Mercedes on Saturday evening under parc fermé conditions. Despite a challenging race, Hamilton managed to secure two points by finishing ninth at the Baku City Circuit. Starting from the pit lane, Hamilton anticipated a tough race, especially at a track where overtaking is difficult. He made progress but was hindered by being stuck behind a rookie driver until late in the race when a crash ahead helped him move up the field.
